Miller's Movie List!

Limitless AMC Universal Cineplex Orlando Florida Great I may be a little late on this review (about 3 months) but this was a good movie. Not the best thing I've ever seen but I enjoyed a lot of it. It was the perfect cure for a rainy day at Universal Studios Orlando!

The King's Speech The Grand Theater Great This movie was very interesting and parts of it were laugh out loud funny. Although it had a dramatic ending I was looking for more. Although the King did overcome his speech problems he didn't completely overcome them. I thought there was more development possible, even if it didn't follow history exactly, a little more story development would have made this Great movie an Excellent or possibly a Superior movie.

The Black Swan The Grand Theater Excellent Honestly, I didn't enjoy this movie for the first 45 minutes. I was expecting it to follow the formula for a traditional suspense thriller. What I learned as I approached the latter part of the movie is that this movie wasn't deigned that way. What this movie does is take you into this balerina's world and mind. You're never sure about what's real and what is not. It is a fascinating movie. The movie is powerfully scored and feels like a ballet itself. I'd like to see it again with the understanding that the movie is more like a ballet, then it is a movie. Hopefully this understanding will help you enjoy it more from the begining.

True Grit The Grand Theater Excellent Very good movie, however very gorry. That doesn't bother me in the least, but I can't imagine the John Wayne version being as "gritty" I admit I haven't seen the original, I will put it on my to-do list. I thought the acting in this movie was superb. For someone who isn't crazy into westerns, this was one that made me at least a little thirsty for more. As a composer/musician I found the soundtrack very appealing. Throughout the movie different variations of the same hymn were used quite effectively to set the mood for the action on the screen. Go catch this in the theater if you still can.

The Fighter The Grand Theater Excellent Good movie, nothing is astounding about it. Just a good rockie-type movie. Go watch it and get motivated to work out.

The Chronicles of Narnia- Voyage of the Dawn Treader AMC 21 Movie Theater Chicago Good This was an unimpressive movie in an unimpressive theater. I had high hopes seeing a movie in Downtown Chicago, I was disappointed . I guess I'll never find a better theater than the Grand in Winston Salem! The problem with this movie is that is was missing 2 of the 4 main characters. Apparently the older two are too old to go to Narnia, which I think is crap. I kept on waiting for a surprise appearance, since the older two were far more interesting than the younger two, however except for a dream sequence it wasn't to be. I found this story, not horrible, but definitely not as good as Prince Caspian. It's funny, out of the trilogy I felt the same about the 3rd one as I did the first. The middle one was my favorite! I don't know how close this movie is to the books, but standing alone this movie would have been quickly forgotten. In fact I almost forgot to write a review, that's...

Unstoppable The Grand Theater Excellent I love it when a movie is set in Pennsylvania, Yes it's a depressing looking state, but it's my depressing looking state. Oh yeah...I'm supposed to write about the movie. It was great fun. A good action flick that's well filmed and doesn't go over the top! It's predicatable, but that's no big deal. It's a funny movie and Denzel Washington is always fun to watch.
